Latin Grammy nominee Gina Chavez finds her voice as a queer Catholic

Growing up in Austin, singer-songwriter Gina Chavez was a "super Catholic geek."

Throughout her adolescence, she attended youth groups and Bible studies and World Youth Day. During junior year at the University of Texas at Austin, she joined the UT Catholic Center.

And it was through the Catholic Center — on a retreat after graduation — that she met Jodi Granado, who would later become her wife.

...

Chavez, now 38, describes herself as a queer, multi-ethnic Latinx Catholic, who attends Mass with Granado at St. Austin Parish, just outside the campus of her alma mater.
